One of the services on offer at our location is a diesel oil change service.
The diesel engine oil change process is similar to gasoline engines, but the motor oil used is different. It is extremely important to use the right type of motor oil for the engine of your vehicle as using the wrong type of motor oil can cause severe damage to the engine. The catalytic convertor of a diesel engine can handle some of the extra additives in diesel motor oil. Also, diesel engines tend to run at a higher temperature than gasoline engines. The motor oil used must be able to withstand the higher temperatures. The service interval for diesel engines might also be shorter but that is going to depend on the specifications of the engine.
At Stohlman Volkswagen, we carry fully-synthetic, semi-synthetic, and conventional motor oil. The advantage of synthetic motor oil is that it offers better lubrication than conventional motor oil. As it is a more refined form of motor oil, it has fewer impurities and more uniform viscosity. This means it can allow the engine to deliver better efficiency. A diesel engine is meant to be a work-horse and if given the right type of maintenance, can last a very long time. Synthetic oil can provide better protection to its components by reducing the damage caused by friction. It can also reduce the heat generated due to friction.
Whether you own a Volkswagen with a VW TDI engine or any other type of engine, we can perform a comprehensive oil change service. We can also check the engine air filter and engine oil filter to determine if they need to be replaced. To book a service appointment with us, you can simply use online service scheduling available on our website or you can give us a call. We offer complimentary multi-point inspection, courtesy loaner cars, and complimentary transportation shuttle.
